The Maxxis Assegai tyre is named after the iron-tipped spear used by the Zulu people of South Africa. Greg Minnaar, a native of South Africa, thought it was a fitting name for a tyre ready to do battle on the mountain.\nThe tall knobs punch through dust and loam to find traction, but also offer support and confidence on wet roots and rocks. While other tyres excel only in certain conditions, the new Maxxis Assegai is built to go fast everywhere.\n\n- 3C MaxxGrip rubber compound available\n- Wide Trail casing optimised for 30-35mm rims\n- Dual-ply downhill casing\n- Tubeless compatible
